The creation, display, and storage of pictures with a computer. (WP, Gr. 6)
Generation of (possibly realistic) images of virtual scenes using computer hardware In this context it refers to the algorithms, conceptual constructions and mathematical background needed to render virtual scenes either 2D or 3D.
Pictorial representations such as diagrams, drawings, or charts generated on a computer.
refers to visual images made with the assistance of computers. Computer graphics are often made with software called drawing, painting, illustrating and photographic programs or applications.
Use of computers (hardware and software) to create, manipulate, and present pictures and images.
converting digital information into a format that can be displayed visually on a computer
Images created with the use of a computer. Also called CG, computer generated imagery (CGI), computer animation, 3d animation, or digital animation.
Computer graphics is the field of visual computing, where one utilizes computers both to generate visual images synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and spatial information sampled from the real world. This field can be divided into several areas: real-time 3D rendering (often used in video games), computer animation, video capture and video creation rendering, special effects editing (often used for movies and television), image editing, and modeling (often used in the printing, engineering and medical fields). Development in computer graphics was first fueled by academic interests and government sponsorship. However, as real-world applications of computer graphics in broadcast television and movies proved a viable alternative to more traditional special effects and animation techniques, commercial parties have increasingly funded advances in the field. Abbreviation: CG
the pictorial representation and manipulation of data by a computer
visual displays of information produced by an electronic computer. This includes both hard-copy and screen displays.
The alphanumeric and graphic information generated by a computer.
Electronically created graphics or designs.
the interactive production and layout of graphic material, text and images, by means of computers and dedicated interfaces. A major component of VR systems.
The design and production of publications by means of specialized software enabling a computer to generate typeset-quality text and graphics.
The overall discipline of creating or manipulating graphic images and pictorial data with computers. These can be used for CAD, animation, design, architecture, scientific imaging, business graphics, etc. Computer graphics systems are usually interactive, displaying images on a computer screen as they’re being created or manipulated.
The methods and techniques for creating and displaying pictures or images on computer screens or other output devices like printers or plotters.
Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science and is concerned with digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to three-dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses two-dimensional graphics and image processing. Graphics is often differentiated from the field of visualization, although the two have many similarities.
